COM PARTIVI ENT COOKING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,922, dated July 6, 189'?.

Application led March 2, 1897.

To @ZZ whom t may concern: y

Be it known that I, LOUIS MOSER, acitizen of Germany, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented an Improvement in Compartment Cooking Apparatus; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to an apparatus for cooking a variety of substances in different compartments.

It consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Figure lis a vertical section of my improved apparatus. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line y y of Fig. l.

I have in the present case shown my apparatus as used in conjunction with a lamp having a burner or Wick-tubes A and having the removable cap A', through which the flames from the wick pass. This cap is preferably formed with a circular foraminous side having upwardly-extending points similar to those employed to retain a lamp-chimney in place, and within these elastic arms lits the lower tubular end B of the apparatus, which is thus supported directly from the lamp and can be removed therefrom either by lifting the part B from the holder or the part A' may be separated from the part A and all taken 01T together. Openings around the periphery of A' allow of the entrance of sufficient air for perfect combustion of the flame.

The vessel B', from the bottom of which the part B projects,is of any suitable height and diameter. It may be made cylindrical for convenience and has in the lower part an enlarged chamber C, connecting directly with the tube B, so that the heat arising through that tube is immediately disseminated throughout the whole area of the chamber C.

The top of the chamber C forms the bottom of an annular chamber within the outer wall B', and through the center of the top of Jthe chamber C is an opening of approximately the same diameter as that of the part B and forming a metallic chimney B2 in uninterrupted continuation with the part B.

The heat and products of combustion from the iiame below passing up into the chamber serial No. 625,725. (No man.)

C are there dispersed, so as to heat the eX- tended bottom of the chamber B', and thence they pass directly up through the chimney B2. These parts being all made of metal the heat therefrom is rapidly conducted into the chamber B', which thus serves for cooking anything which may be desired. I have here shown this chamber as divided by a vertical partition D, extending from the chimney B2 to the periphery of the chamberB', thus separating it into two parts, and each part having a faucet E it will be easy to use the device for making both tea and coffee in this portion of the apparatus when desired..

F is an annular cylindrical rim having a iiange F', by which it is readily supported upon the upper edge of the chamber BJ', and this annular rim F has a perforated or screen bottom G, iitting into the rim and around the chimney B2, so that it may be easily removed. This compartment may be used, if desired, to boil eggs or anything of that sort which can be cooked by contact with the heat `or steam of water in the chamber B'. Above this is a chamber H, also having a central opening itting around the chimney B2, `which thus retains itin place. This chamber serves for cooking still another and separate character of food, the heat from the chimney B2, in addition to that from the chamber below, being suflicient for this purpose. Above this chamber II is an annular top I, having an inwardly-turned flange I' around the top, as shown. The sides are formed with perforations I2, and the top of the chimney B2terminates within this chamber. When any other closed vessel or top is placed over I', the heat is allowed to escape through the passages l2 at the sides.

J is another cylindrical pan or vessel which may be set upon the top of the part I, resting upon the flange I', and the direct heat fromcate that the direct heat of the fire will burn it.

IOO

It will be seen that by this single apparatus a sufficient number and variety of articles can be cooked to provide a meal for one or more persons. y

If it is desired to fry meat or other articles, the intermediate pan J can be removed from the top of the part l and a suitable fryingpan placed directly upon the ledge l', so that the direct heat from the chimney B2 will strike this pan and cook whatever may be contained in it.

M is a gage connecting at the top and bottom with the chamber B', so that the amount of water or other liquid Within can always be readily seen.

Then a lamp is used, as shown at N, this may also have a gage O, which shows by inspection when the oil in the lamp needs reneWal.

The whole apparatus may be contained in any suitable or convenient exterior case P, which enables the user to carry it easily from place to place and to protect it when not in use.

This device is especially suitable for bachelor or camping outfits and in places Where there is but little room and few conveniences for cooking.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A cooking apparatus comprisingaburner, a superposed chamber B', divided into separate compartments, each provided with a draw-off, an expansion-chamber below and having its top wall forming a bottom for said chamber B', a tubular extension above and below the expansion-chamber and superposed chambers above the chamber B' one of which closes the top of the chamber B' and another receives the upper end of the upper tubular extension and is provided with openings for the escape of the heat. 2. A cooking apparatus comprising a burner, asuperposed chamber B', an expansionchamber below and having its top wall forming a bottom for said chamber B', a tubular extension of uniform diameter above and belowT the expansion-chamber, a vessel supported within and forming a closure for the upper end of the chamber' B and having a foraminous bottom, a chamber into which the upper end of the upper tubular extension projects, having side perforations for the escape of the heat, and a chamber below and surrounding the upper portion of the said eX- tension.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

LOUIS MOSER.
